[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 1186925, member: 24160"] I've had this on my iPad since the first week after it was released. That's 10 months now. At January's average of 15, I've already received 150 sales promotions. Just what in the world are you guys selling that warrants 180 sales promotion emails to a single customer over a 1 year period of time. Every 3 days - that's still 120 sales promotions in a year - 120 a year - really?. These are magazines for pete's sake. Just how many magazines do you all think one person can read, much less subscribe to? What do you think happens - the 100th one, they're reminded of the magazine they've been wanting to get - or right click and delete. What do you do with the 150th sales promotion the same company has sent you in a 10 month period? I'll bet the answer doesn't include reading it. Do you not realize that you have essentially desensitized all of your existing customer base with this practice? I would be willing to wager that your customers are not looking at more than 1 in 10 after the first 3 months (at least not looking at them in a way that results in any sales - and that's the whole purpose for them - right?). I personally have not "really" looked at a single one of them in several months. [/QUOTE]
